jsx-runtime missing

It would be really great if Crank had a jsx-runtime. As hint, please find the Preact counterpart here.

Would allow the following tsconfig.json entries:

  "jsx": "react-jsx",
  "jsxImportSource": "@b9g/crank"

@darrylcousins Thank you very much, Darryl, for all that info about how JSX can be configured with Vite. This was indeed very informative and helpful. I’ve not used Vite yet, but after your posts above, I’ll give it a try … actually really very nice … Nevertheless, as not everybody uses Vite and jsx-runtimes are some kind of standard now, it would still be great if Crank had a jsx-runtime, I guess 😉

Hi,

The example offered for esbuild config options is:

export default defineConfig({
  esbuild: {
    jsxInject: `import React from 'react'`
  }
})

I’ve tested the following and it works. Of course it complains that Identifier 'createElement' has already been declared if I do explicitly define the import in any jsx file:

export default defineConfig({
  esbuild: {
    jsxFactory: 'createElement',
    jsxFragment: 'Fragment'
    jsxInject: `import {createElement, Fragment} from '@b9g/crank'`
  }
})

Hope that helps.

Sincere regards, Darryl Cousins
